At the end of the month, Titus Andronicus will release The Most Lamentable Tragedy, their massive and sprawling rock opera about manic depression. We’ve already heard a ton from the band: “Dimed Out,” “Fatal Flaw,” the entire Sorry About The Delay
mixtape. And now the band has dropped a whole new motherlode on us.
They’re calling their new video a short film, and this is one of those
rare cases where the title actually applies. Frontman Patrick Stickles
directed the band’s “The Magic Morning” film (“in the Welles / Toland
tradition,” says Stickles at the band’s Shea Stadium headquarters, with Ray Concepcion
serving as editor and director of photography. The band has also posted
the passionate, dynamic album track “Fired Up,” which kicks as much ass
as anything else we’ve heard from the album. And they’ve also posted
all the lyrics from every song on the album, with Stickles adding
annotations. You can find all that here.
Suffice to say: You can easily spend the rest of the day sorting
through everything Titus have just given us. Check out the short film
and “Fired Up” below.
